Custom Gauge faces.

I know of 85-newer kits that change the gauge faces, but since I have an 84...I'm left with very few options.
 
Does anyone know someone who will make custom overlays for the 84 gauges?  I'd really like to have a speedometer that goes over 85 because of my upcoming 5-speed swap.  But also because I drive faster than that occasionally and find it annoying that I peg my speedo at....I'm guessing....about 95??
 
I'd also like a different color...but I'm asking a lot so as it is. :crazy:

I have a spare canadian speedometer that reads up to 180 Kilometres, which is about 110 miles for an 83-84 cougar.. it is not a dark grey, rather it's a silverish colour.. I think it's out of an XR-7 so you might have the same. well i have a dark grey in my 84 gs right now.. so i got both darker grey, and silver in 180km/h (110m/h) speedo.

so your best bet is to look for a Canadian speedometer. and make a custom face in photoshop or something since the light just shines on it at night rather then the numbers being lit up from behind..

Yeah, I figured as much...I'd really like them to match my Autometer Phantom gauges.  Another problem I'd have is getting the image onto my computer and then manipulating them to my liking then print them and attach them somehow to my original gauges.

Thanks for your help.

Well i can probably make one for you based on the 180km Canadian gauges, because I do have the computer graphic skills and it's something i've toyed with in the past.

while your at it how much would you charge me to do a canadian speedo on a 87 bird. i also hate the 85mph guage and the only idiglo they make is for turbo coupes. unless i try to rewire a mustang cluster into my bird  they make a indiglo setup for there 120mph speedo
